| The
Foretrex 201™ is a wearable Personal Navigator™,
perfect for outdoor and marine enthusiasts who desire hands-free
GPS navigation in a lightweight, affordable package. At
a mere 2.75 ounces, this waterproof wonder is lighter than
most watches, and its wrist-top mount frees up hands for
outdoor activities. Sporting an ergonomic wristband, the
Foretrex 201 is similar in design to the Forerunner 201,
yet is chocked full of GPS navigation features found in
Garmin's popular Geko 201 unit.
With a user-friendly interface,
the rugged Foretrex 201 simplifies navigation, making it
ideal for the backcountry or water. Its six dedicated buttons
(GoTo, Page, Enter/Mark, Up, Down and Power) make it easy
to operate. It offers the most essential navigation data
— enhanced GPS accuracy, extensive storage for waypoints,
and reversible routes and tracks — on an easy-to-read
display. Don't worry about packing extra batteries, because
the Foretrex 201 runs on an internal lithium battery for
15 hours (typical use). Simply recharge and go.
The Foretrex 201 also comes
equipped with special features sure to please mariners and
hikers alike. It includes a unique application for sailing
and paragliding racers that allows them to configure the
start sequence of a race. The countdown is displayed in
a large-number format that audibly alerts the user at each
phase of the start sequence. With the help of Garmin's exclusive
TracBack® technology, hikers can mark a campsite, go
trekking all day, and follow the electronic "breadcrumb
trail" back to camp in time for dinner.
